My aunt is pregnant yet again!
She will be 45 in September, and already has seven kids.
The thing that scares me is that she is a larger lady and has high blood pressure, and any woman who is pregnant past the age of 35 is tested to see if the chid will have birth defects.
She has had three miscarriages, and the last two kids have had health scares.
In addition to that, my uncle's employment is in question, so money will be even tighter.
I am happy for another life, but the situation is still a little scary.

Nothing against your aunt and no offense meant, but I have always wondered why people choose to put the tremendous strain of having such a large number of kids on themselves. It seems like the people who edecide to have 5 kids or more never have very much money, and it just seems kinda unfair to the kids. They bring them into a situation where they will have a low quality of life, instead of bringing fewer up in much more comfortable conditions.

No offence taken, as I wonder the same thing.
Money hasn't been too much of an issue, as my uncle has his PhD and is a medical ethics researcher at the University Of Toronto.
If he is indeed laid off he could always do a teaching position.

Yea my mom is a teacher and in CA Arnold is laying off tons of teachers and cutting school budgets. My mom had already gotten laid off once, but she bounced back and got another job.

That is definitely a task for only the strongest people!!!!! |
